A vacation that became life changing * It had been a long and difficult project. Construction and start-up of a gas turbine power plant seems to have a personality all of its own. The weather and changes requested by the owner were wreaking havoc on the schedule and budget. My job is the start-up portion which requires testing and putting into service ever...
My heart was pounding. After a little over a week we were finally landing on Donza's home planet. I was so excited. I stood there, one hand around Donza's waist, the other holding my bag filled with my clothes, toothbrush and everything else I could pack, as a voice announced through the speakers we were landing in approximately one minute. Before we left on...
No-one is here to listening to my story, so I thought I would write it down for you to read later. It is strange how truth and reminiscence diffract through time and recreate themselves in a story that itself helps us to reconstruct our memories. I hope it does so in a way that will give you that inner warmth you have so often given me over the years. We al...

Chapter 3: Barbie Jo learns how to be a whore. This story is a fantasy story, and with all fantasies we can imagine that no evil exists. That also means no disease, so with no disease to transfer to someone else, no need for protection. Remember it is a fantasy world, in the real world evil and disease exists. Protect yourself. Saturday Afternoon The soun...
CHAPTER ONE The radio alarm came on just after seven, waking Georgina with "All You Need is Love". She was alone in her bed. She sat up, flipped back the quilt and swung her feet to the floor. The front of her nightdress was a soppy face of a teddy bear. The colours were faded. She smoothed the thin cotton with both hands while she breathed in, pulling the...
I pottered around the house on Saturday, cleaning, doing the laundry, all the usual Saturday jobs – apart from a trip to the shops. Late in the afternoon I settled into a bath to soak away the aches and pains from the housework and the usual wear and tear of the week. I usually shower during the week, even after a visit to the gym, so my weekend soak is som...
Tuesday Night It was a Tuesday night and I had worked late and didn't get home till 7:30 that evening. When I walked in the door my wife Lori told me that Ben called three times. She said, "He said he needs to talk to you tonight." I asked, "Did he say what he needs to talk to me about?" Lori said, "No. I asked him if he wanted to leave a message and he s...
Prologue This is a true account of what happened to me, Andrew , a few years ago. In 2004, I applied for a post graduate course, but had been accepted late onto it due to raising the money to pay. As a late entrant, I had to run around trying to get accommodation when everything had gone. I set aside a day and eventually found a room in shared house,...
I awoke with humming in my ears. The room was still dark, but I could see light coming in around the drapes and the humming had to be Louise in the bathroom. She never quits. I crawled up and sat on the edge of the bed, scratched all the necessary places and tried to decide if I wanted to brave the john now, or wait until Louise went back upstairs. "I hear y...
